About Progressive
Progressive Suspension has focused exclusively on American V-twin suspension since 1982, and its Monotube fork cartridges and 400/970/970G shock series are among the most common upgrades on baggers and Softails. For most riders the stock rear shock is the single worst part on the bike — this is the fix.
Achieve the perfect custom stance on your Harley Softail with the Progressive Suspension Fork Lowering Kit. This kit allows for an adjustable drop from stock height down to 2 inches lower, giving you complete control over your bike's profile. Featuring precision-wound progressive-rate springs, it delivers tuned ride quality even at a lowered front end.

Seriously these are heavy duty. By heavy duty I mean its like driving a brick down the road. The front and rear adjusted as soft as they go it has gotten a little better but its still very stiff. I would recommend going with the normal suspension unless your riding double and carrying about 300lbs on top of that.

I just installed these on my 1995 FLSTC. Everything with the installation went well and the shocks provide a nice ride. I was replacing another set of 422's that had an oil leak on one of the shocks with only a few thousand miles. Hope these last longer.

Very responsive suspension. Easy to adjust. From the factory setting of 1 inch lower than stock you can figure 4/16 of an inch equals 1 inch in adjustment. If you can't afford an adjustable compressor air ride suspension that usually cost 1700-2100$ this is a great compromise. You will need a lift to install this one and you will also need the K&L Multi-Lift Motorcycle Lift Ramp(910-201). That part is a must to get the lift from underneath the bike once it is lowered. I originally lowered the bike 4 inches...to much and it is highly not recommended, 2 3/4 inches is perfect for the softail to still have a good ride quality and have a lowered look and stillmaintain safe ground clearence.
